Let's Make a Deal: Returning to the Air

Sorry, Guiding Light fans.

But the beloved daytime drama won't be returning to CBS this fall.

Despite a write-in campaign by viewers, the soap opera will bid farewell in September. It will be replaced a month later by a new version of the game show Let’s Make a Deal.

Debuting on October 5, the series will be hosted by Wayne Brady, as it features contestants dressing up in unusual costumes and making deals with the host. The original version ran from 1963-1977 and was hosted Monty Hall.
